CARBURETER.

SPECIFICATION formi-ng part of Letters Patent No. 702,637, dated June 1'7, 1902.

l Application filed April 13, 1900. Serial No. 121728. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern,.-

5 ton and State of WestVirginia, haye invented a new and Improved Gas-Machine, of

which the following is a full, cleaiQ'and exact description. Y

This invention relates to improvements in carbureters; and it consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one form in which I have contemplated embodying my invention, and said invention is fully set forth in the following description and claim.

Referring to the drawing, the figure isa sectional View of my improved device.

The objects of my invention are, first, 'to

ond, to so arrange the inlet and outlet openings thereof that any desired richness may be obtained in the quality of the gas.

` In carrying out my invention I use a tank A of any desirable size closed at thetop by the head B and provided withra suitable gage O and cock D near the lower part thereof. An air-inlet pipe a is secured in the head and extends downwardly into and to a point near the bottom of the said tank A. An outletpipe b is also secured in the head B and enters the said tank at the top. Both of. these pipes o, and b are connected with the air-inlet and mixing pipe c, the pipe-ct by the union a' and pipe d2 and the pipe'b by the union b and pipe b2. In the pipe 0,2 is a suitable controlling-valve a3. The pipe b2 is also provided with a valve b3 of like construction.v Be;- tween the connectingpipes d2 and h2 in the air-inlet and mixing pipe c is another valve c of ordinary construction. vBeyond the pipe d2 the air-inlet and: mixing pipe is provided with still another valve c2 and a funnel-shaped air-inlet piece c3. `A tap D' is provided in the head B, which may be removed for the purpose of supplyingv oil tojthe tank. In practice these devices are duplicated, as shown, and any number of them coupled together. In this form the air-inlet and mix- 5o ing pipe c is connected up with each succeedof a single tank or generator will provide a device for generating gas, and, secingtank in the series, as shown, or each part may be duplicated, when the four-way connection atthe top of the pipe a2 would-be valve c2 and air-inlet piece c3, applied to each tank. I will describe the operation of the de- .vice when several of these" tanks are coupled together, and it is obvious that the operation be set forth therein.' l

Afsuction is created in the air-inlet and mixing pipe cvby any suitable means after the tanks ha'velbeensup'plie'd with the requisite amountof oil and the'valves c closed. The valves b3 areleft open, and-the suction created through the outlet-pipes h2 forms a partial vacuum in each tank above the oil. The valves a3 and C2, of each tank having been left open, air-passes down through the pipe a in a welljknownv manner, lrises through the oil, and becomescharged with gas. When a number of the above-described tanks are coupled together in series land itbecomes desirable to Ydilutev'the gas, the valve o' is opened slightly,

,when the air coming through the funnell shaped part c3 will divide and a portion will pass downwardly through the pipe o.V in the first tank-inY series, through the oil in said tank, and emerge into the'air-inlet and mixing pipe through pipeb as a gas, while a portion of said free air will pass directly through the valve c in the air-inlet and mixing pipe and meet and mix with the gas as it emerges from pipe b, whereby said gas will be diluted. This operation isrepeated in the next tank, aportion of the diluted gas passing downwardly through theinlet-pipe in said tank, through the oil and outlet-pipe into the airinlet'and mixing pipe',while a portion of the diluted gas will pass directly through the valve c2 and mix with the higher-charged gas as it emerges from the second tank, and soon through the entire series. By this arrange- VIoo series of tanks for containing hydrocarbon liquid, each provided with an inlet-pipe having a regulating-cock, and an outlet-pi pe having a regulating-cock, of a single air-inlet and mixing` pipe connected With the inlet and outlet pipes of all of said tanks, said air-inlet and mixing pipe having one end open to the atmosphere and provided with a series of cocks located between the connections of the air-inlet and mixing pipe with the inlet and i and outlet pipes of each tank, whereby a comlnunieation may be established from the airinlet directly through said air-inlet and mixing pipe in addition to the communication between the air-inlet and mixing pipe and said tanks, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this speciiication' in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
